Gaia DR3 2893941099963718528 is a blue straggler star in the constellation of Canis Major. [5] [3] The star is located in the open cluster designated NGC 2243, and it is approximately 11,900 light years (or 3,650 parsecs) away. [3] [4] It has an apparent G-band magnitude of 15.09. [5] It was first discovered in August 2018 in the second data release of the Gaia Telescope. [6] [7] [8]
Gaia DR3 2893941099963718528 is a luminous, massive blue straggler star in the open cluster NGC 2243. [5] [3] The star has an estimated radius of 1.23±0.22 R☉, and a predicted mass of 1.72±0.12 M☉. [3] [4] The radius was found using a bolometric luminosity of 10.59±0.03L☉, and an effective temperature of 8,800±700 K. [3] [4] It is believed to be extremely metal-poor with a metallicity of −0.31±0.15 dex. [3] [4] It is proposed to be 510±70 million years old. [3] [4] The star has a spectral type of A3V. [4] It is a fast rotating star with a rotational velocity of 95.63±9.78 km/s. [3]
In 2026, a substellar object was discovered orbiting around Gaia DR3 2893941099963718528. [3] It is designated Gaia DR3 2893941099963718528 b and is either a planet or brown dwarf. [3] The substellar object is in a tight, low eccentricity compact orbit around its host star in roughly 5.6 hours. [3] [4] The substellar object has a mass between 20 and 70 MJ, implying that it is likely a brown dwarf. [3] [4] The substellar object has a radius of 0.8 RJ, and calculated temperature between 1,100 and 2,500 K. [3] [4]
